Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.' 38,@87, dated May 19, 18253. I Y

To all whom it may concern: l

"Be it known that I, H. R. LADD, of Orwell,

iu the county of `Ashtabula and State of Ohio,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had t0 the annexed drawings/,making part of-this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective'viewof the churn;

Fig. 2, anverticalsectiou Figs. 3 ande, views r vof the dasher detached from theease.

Like letters denote like parts in the several views.

--sruenabiwtnerssknledin nl@ are .a make and use my invention, I will proceed. to describeits construction and operation.

'The general form of the case is seen in Fig. l, and may bey made ot any desirable size. rlhe sides A are of wood, and the ends and bot- .tom B of suitable metal, and is curved in form according to the sweep of the dasher. The erank C is connected to the shaft D, which supports and which operates the dasher E, the said shaft havin g suitable bea-rings at F F. The dasher-shaft Gr forms a sleeve through which passes the shaft 1),-as seen in Fig. 2. Upon the shaft D at H is cut a screw, which fasteus into the nut I,Figs. l and 2. 'This nut, being secured to the dasher, connects the shaft and dashen vIBy this means the dasher is readily connected and disconnected with the shaft and case, as may be needed in cleaning and otherpurposes. To each end of the sleeveshaft G are secured transverse arms J, Figs. 3 and V4,10 the ends of which is attacheda bar, K, and between this bar and the sleeve are fastened a series of beatersor rods, L and M,

by the ends of which passing into the sleeve and bar, as seen in Figs. 2 and 4,-.the bar retains said rods in place. These rods or beaters may be placed at any desirable angle,

soas to produce the best eect. In this dasher two sets of the beaters are at right angles to the sleeve G, and the other two sets are placed at an acute and obtuse angle, as seen in Figs. 2 and 3. By this arrangement the beaters do not follow in each others wake, but cross` each in their circuit atvarious angles, 'thus producing a greater agitation to the milk and cream, and the butter more readily develops than in the ordinary inode.

inside of them are curved from the edge()V to the center O as seen in the transversesection, Fig. 4. By means of the curve P in the arms the milk and cream are thrown from the sides toward the center. The bar K is also curved at R along the entire length on the inside, which tends to throw or divert the milk and cream toward the center, from which they are forced back by the centrifu gal yforce of the beaters.

What I cla-im as my improvement, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

'.lhe shaft 1), sleeve G, arms J, and'bars K,

The arms J are hat upon the side next to the cases, while the v The curving of the arms J and y rail K also allows thein to revolve more easily
